Red oak variety, mystree #1

These were from a red oak variety that i scored today. I stepped on an acorn and couldnt believe the size. Cant say ive ever seen one like this before.
I picked up several of the acorns in the street gutter. the quarter is for scale.

one acorn was 1 1/2" diameter!
Luckily there was a limb with an acorn still attached. Okay FHC folks what is it?

 

Is that a burr oak?

 

My first thought was burr oak. Beautiful acorns you have there!

 

actually that was my first guess, but googled it and doesnt match.

 

There are a lot of different looking burr oak acorns.

 

Such big nuts!

 

Leaves say Pin to me.

 

Pin was my thought.
Pin Oak | Quercus palustris

 

Well with nuts like that, you’ll take care of any tree that comes your way!!!

 

Looks like he’s ready for that winter snap!

 

I'd wag black oak, maybe scarlet oak.

 

Burr oak is a white oak. This is clearly red oak.
Here's a Burr oak leaf.

I'd say so too.

 

Are you near 3 mile island or Chernobyl?

 

I would say either Black or Scarlet oak.

 

So you scored some acorns? Did you happen to get any of the wood while you were playing squirrel?

 

After a bit more research re: billb3 and mr.finn 's suggestion, I'll amend my vote to Black Oak.

 

I did (first sentence of thread) and didnt think to take pics of the bark. I couldnt cut on site and only took lengths of smaller stuff. Ill get some today.

 

I had though pin, but the leaves arent as "dainty" as most ive seen although they are on the small side. The acorns are what threw me obviously. Never seen em like that before. Ill get more pics today of bark.
